    I think the difference now is that GPs used to own their practices.  Now the practices are owned by businesses & employ the GPs who move around all the time.  I used to know all the GPs at my local practice, they were all up on the board along with GPs in training.  Then around covid many of them retired & now there is only one whose name I recognise.  I assume they no longer train GPs there as there used to be around 16 names on the board & now there are around 8.  The practice is now owned by a company that owns about 8 in the town.
    I hear this!
    So sorry you've lost your lovely GP and I do hope whoever you see in future is as caring as he has been. 
    Plus a wonderful gesture from you to him - I totally agree with this. ❤️
    Thank you.
